Kangaroo Island is one of the easier places in Australia to see wildlife without much effort. Most of the island is protected or lightly developed, and animals move through the landscape constantly. I spent several days there covering different parts of the island, looking for kangaroos, koalas, the resident platypus, and shooting the Milky Way…

Uganda is often called the “Pearl of Africa,” and after trekking and camping there, I understand why. The country offers an incredible mix of landscapes — dense rainforests, misty mountains, and wide savannahs — each with its own challenges and rewards. Camping in Uganda is about more than just a place to sleep. It puts…
